Chapter 28
The moment Li Chongjiu drew his sword to kill, all the noise suddenly stopped at the congested ferry.

"Killed!"

The people at the ferry, like flies that exploded, retreated in unison.

Blood dripped from the blade, and Li Chongjiu's eyes showed murderous intent.

"Bold... bold thief!"

Seeing that his companion was dead, another village soldier rushed forward with a loud roar.

The tip of the opponent's spear pierced Li Chongjiu's chest, and Li Chongjiu stepped aside in an instant, holding the gun bar in his hand.

"not good!"

Seeing that the gun body was caught, the village soldier was about to pull back, but Li Chongjiu instantly bullied him, and he drew his sword and slashed at him!

A shrill cry sounded at the ferry.In a moment, kill another person!
With blood spraying on his face, Li Chongjiu felt a burst of joy in his heart, and glanced at Li Zheng.Li Zheng, who was the only woman in the world, was so panicked that his legs became weak after Li Chongjiu killed two people in a row. He let go of the plaything in his hand and stumbled to the side to pick up a horn!
"Woo! Woo!"

A warning horn sounded.

"seek death!"

Li Chongjiu let out a loud shout, and quickly chased after him, kicking this place over and stepping on him.

"Bastard, you dare to kill court officials! Aren't you afraid of arrest?"

Li Chongjiu laughed, he was wanted for a long time now, he was not afraid of being bitten if there were too many lice, killing one was killing, killing two was killing.

At this time, there was sharp eyes suddenly, and said: "Oh, so you are..."

Where did Li Chongjiu wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately stabbed him with a knife.

After killing three people in a row, Li Chongjiu wiped the blood off his face, and immediately saw the ferry boat on the bank leaving the bank.The boatman was supporting the penny with all his might.If the ferry leaves the shore, ask Li Chongjiu how to cross the river. At this time, he heard the sound of the horn, and someone near the official ferry should have heard the warning.

Without saying a word, Li Chongjiu rushed straight to the ferry.Seeing Li Chongjiu rushing towards him, the Zhouzi turned pale with fright, and his hands moved a little faster.

boom!
Splashes of water!

Li Chongjiu jumped into the shoal, waded through the water, stood up suddenly, and boarded the ferry with one stride.When the people on the ferry saw Li Chongjiu chasing after him like a ghost, they all jumped into the water to seek refuge.

Li Chongjiu swung his saber across and shouted at Zhouzi, "Go ashore!"

The sound was like thunder, and the boatman was trembling, and he didn't dare to row the ferry to the shore to stop.

Li Chongjiu turned back to the shore immediately, corrected his mount, and went straight to the boat.Li Chongjiu glanced around, but saw that there was still half of the baskets of money on the shore, including meat and white money, which were filled with the funds that everyone paid for the ferry.

Li Chongjiu got off the boat again, stripped off his clothes, spread them on the ground, picked up more than half of the meat from the basket with both hands, and threw them into the clothes.

After grabbing three in a row, Li Chongjiu raised the basket high, threw it into the open space, and then shouted: "This is money collected from extortionate expropriation. Let's share it!"

When did the common people see the scene where the meat was sprinkled flying all over the sky, and there was a burst of cheers, and a dozen bold people rushed to the ground to pick up the meat.And Li Chongjiu tied up his clothes in his hands, jumped onto the ferry and raised his knife and shouted: "Let's go quickly!"

"Yes, yes." Zhouzi dared not disobey the order, and sailed on the boat.

When the boat arrived at Zhongdu, Li Chongjiu suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes from the opposite bank, and a group of no less than a hundred riders came rumblingly, and there seemed to be infantry moving further away.Apparently they came here after hearing the sound of the horn. If they were a little bit late, Li Chongjiu would be out of luck if he stayed on the other side.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being surprised, and asked the boatman: "The place of this ferry is not an important way, how can there be so many soldiers and horses?"

The Zhouzi was very afraid, and shrank back and replied: "Not a few days ago, a group of strong men from the East County made trouble in Wagang Village. The county guard was worried that there would be rogues entering the country, so they sent soldiers and horses everywhere." surveillance."

"I see."

Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that the governor of Shangdang County was not making a big deal out of a trivial matter. Although Dongjun County was south of the Yellow River, it was very close to Shangdang. Besides, winter was coming soon.

At this time, a dozen cavalrymen on the other side of the river were stalking their horses, shouting at the river bank, telling them to row across the bank without guessing.How dare Zhouzi see Li Chongjiu's blood-stained dagger.

Li Chongjiu smiled, and immediately took out a handful of copper coins from his clothes, threw them into the boat and said, "Row quickly, the money is all yours."

Zhouzi shook his head, smiled wryly, and could only concentrate on shaking the boat.

Li Chongjiu grabbed the knife and stood alone at the stern of the boat. The Lushui River was turbulent, and the river wind blew in, making the sackcloth on his body flutter.At this moment, with the chasing soldiers behind, the road ahead seemed confusing, but Li Chongjiu raised his brows, and his expression was still calm!

Zhouzi shook his head secretly when he saw the scene, thinking that this person must be a gangster who regards human life like nothing, but he looks as elegant as a scholar, which is really unpredictable.It is said in the song that the wind is rustling and the water is cold. It must be the Jing who assassinated the King of Qin back then, and it is probably the same at this moment.

At the moment, Zhouzi's heart faintly changed from fear to admiration.The penny broke through the flowing water, and the ferry sailed to the opposite bank like an arrow, leaving behind only a series of shouts and curses from the officers and soldiers on the other side.

After crossing Lushui, Li Chongjiu thanked Zhouzi, got on his horse and rode his mount, and galloped for more than twenty miles.

When the mountains ahead were stacked and the road was difficult, Li Chongjiu got off his horse and asked a passer-by, only then did he know that he had left Shangdang County and came to Changping County.

And standing in front of Li Chongjiu is the Taihang Mountains.

Geographically speaking, the Taihang Mountains are the second step of China's ladder. To the west is today's Shanxi, and to the east are today's Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. The dividing pillars mark the east and west.The ancients said that Shanxi is the ridge of the world. It is said that Shanxi is so high that it overlooks Guanzhong, Hebei, and the Central Plains.And Taihang Mountain is the backbone.

In front of Li Chongjiu was the undulating Taihang Mountains, like a natural barrier, blocking the east-west traffic.According to the military book, the key to mountains and rivers is to block them, and only tunnels can pass through them. The tunnels in Taihang Mountain are the famous Taihang Eight Xings.

Now that Li Chongjiu is heading east to Taihang, after passing through the valley lowland cut by the Lushui River, he has to cross the Yellow River to Hanoi County. By crossing the Yellow River, he can temporarily avoid the arrest of the government and take a breather, but he must pass through Taihang before that. Taihang Xing among the Eight Xings.

Taihang Xing, so it was called Taihang Dao, is a battleground for military strategists.

In the 44th year of King Qin Zhao, King Qin ordered Bai Qi to attack Taixing Dao and stop it. In 45 years, Bai Qi once again led the army of Qin Hulang to defeat the wild king of Han.The king of the wild descended to Qin, and Shangdang died.After the Shangdang surrendered to Zhao, there was a battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao. Bai Qi slaughtered 40 Zhao troops here, and the battle of Changping took place in Changping County at the foot of Li Chongjiu.

After entering Changping County, Li Chongjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.In this era, with the efficiency of the yamen, the so-called "inter-provincial pursuit" still can't happen to me. The handover between the two counties and the exchange of official documents are very troublesome.

Seeing that his big green horse was exhausted, it was impossible for Li Chongjiu to run any longer, so he led the horse forward slowly.On the side of the road, there was a store with an upside-down 'cover bag' hanging on the door.This cover is a special utensil for fishing rice in the north, and it is hung outside, which means that this place is a restaurant, attracting customers to come to the restaurant for dinner.

In addition, on the lintel of the store, the four characters of Zhangjia Inn were written crookedly.Now that he was exhausted, no matter whether he was a horse or a horse, he had to rest. Li Chongjiu walked to the inn immediately, and put the knife in his arms at the same time, just in case of accidents.

The clerk at the entrance of the inn was a burly man. Based on general experience, the clerk should be a well-rounded person. How could such a burly man be a waiter in the shop.If every hotel is like this, wouldn't it frighten the guests.

Li Chongjiu just took a second look, then the big man stood up and said: "Guest officer, the shop is closed for a few days!"

Li Chongjiu glanced at the hood, but instead asked: "If you don't do business, why are you still wearing the hood?"

When Li Chongjiu asked, the big man was at a loss for words for a while, but someone in the store said: "Heitai, where are the guests coming, why are you rushing out, why don't you invite the guests in!"

The big man said angrily when he heard the words: "Guest officer, please come inside."

Li Chongjiu's heart froze, he took away the package on the horse's back, and walked into the restaurant. He saw that there was no one around, and there were seven or eight short tables with many straw mats.

A man in his thirties with a refined face came out, cupped his hands and said, "Guest officer, the shop is about to close, but it's an honor for the shop owner to have a visitor. What would this guest officer want?"

Closing, at this moment the weather is still early to close.

Li Chongjiu sneered from the bottom of his heart, and threw the package on the dining table of the restaurant, with a bang, it was obviously a heavy and heavy object.After Li Chongjiu's action, the expressions of the burly man and the person in front of him changed.

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, and said: "The horse needs to be fed with the best food, and I want two bowls of yogurt, a mustache, and a plate of mutton."

"Okay, sir, sit down for a while." While speaking, the two of them left together.

Li Chongjiu looked around, and suddenly felt that a straw mat was placed differently.

Li Chongjiu stood up immediately and moved the straw mat away, only to see a puddle of fresh blood under the mat.Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu sneered twice.

With two bangs, from the kitchen, the shopkeeper who had just entered came together, holding two big knives in each hand.

The burly man shouted: "Boy, I can only blame you for being unlucky and looking for your own death."

With a snort, Li Chongjiu pulled out the dagger from his bosom, thrust it into the wooden table with his backhand, and said sternly, "Okay, I met my colleague here after traveling all over the world!"

"Report your name, don't kill the nameless ghost!"
